Bai Qi: "Hey, are you lecturing me now? How could I not know what you're saying?"
As for the issue of military rations, you don't need to worry. When we followed Commander Shen, when did the army ever go hungry?
Even during the three-year bloody battle in the Nine Netherworlds, despite the horrific conditions, the brothers still ate heartily at every meal.
As for the problem of the Demon Realm being restricted, I'm sure Commander Shen has a solution.
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Zhao interjected, "The barrier isn't a big problem. I can send around 30,000 elite demon troops to the battlefield at once."
However, the supply of provisions and supplies is indeed a problem and will take some time to procure.
"I'll provide the provisions," Mu Qiuyao said directly. "Besides that..."
I'll also gather another ten thousand elite troops from the Northern Region for logistical support, and place Jun Yutian under your command. What do you think?
Shen Zhao was stunned and looked at Mu Qiuyao in disbelief.
"Don't look at me like that. What's the difference between us? I'm just asking if this is enough. If not, I'll give you another ten thousand."
"If all else fails, I'll hand over the Purple Star Imperial Seal to you. You can use whatever the Northern Region possesses."
That's enough.
Shen Zhao nodded, saying that 40,000 people were enough to quell all the hidden dangers within the Holy Domain.
Bai Qi immediately stood up, cupped his hands in thanks to Mu Qiuyao, and then said to Shen Zhao, "When will you lead the expedition, Commander Shen, so that I can return to the Demon Realm to mobilize troops?"
"No rush. Let Ice Flame investigate the Great Wilderness and the Holy Domain more thoroughly to ensure everything goes smoothly."
Ji Bingyan immediately stood up: "Don't worry, my lord, leave the intelligence to me."
Shen Zhao continued, "On the other hand, I think Yun Ying will be in charge this time."
Upon hearing this, Mu Qiuyao immediately understood Shen Zhao's intention.
This is to create momentum for Su Yunying's ascension to the throne.
Su Yunying is only lacking in martial arts skills. Once she is officially appointed, and Shen Zhao has settled things in the Holy Domain, she will have all the necessary qualities: civil administration, martial arts, benevolence, and strength. Who would dare to oppose her becoming emperor then?
"Damn, Su Yunying is so lucky. I'm a little jealous. I can't take it anymore. I want to live that kind of carefree life as soon as possible."
Mu Qiuyao has made up her mind to live off Shen Zhao.
"Taking command? What does that mean?"
At this moment, Su Yunying woke up, washed up in the inner room, and came to the main hall, where she overheard the conversation.
Mu Qiuyao said with a smile, "Sister Su, Shen Zhao plans to put you in command to conquer the Holy Domain."
"ah?"
Su Yunying immediately regained her senses.
"But I don't know anything about military affairs, how can this be done?"
Shen Zhao smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Bai Qi and the others will assist you. Just follow their instructions."
Bai Qi immediately stood up and bowed to Su Yunying: "Please rest assured, Madam, Bai Qi will definitely not disappoint you."
Su Yunying: "In that case, thank you very much, General Bai."
Mu Qiuyao stood up and said, "Alright, let's not delay, I'll go back to the Northern Region to prepare."
"Jun Yutian will lead a large army to the Great Wilderness Tribe to meet you there. We'll see you again in the Holy Domain!"
After saying that, he gave Shen Zhao a flirtatious look, then transformed into light and left the Seven-Colored Saint Monarch Rock.
Bai Qi also rose to take his leave: "Commander Shen, I will return to the Demon Realm to gather troops and await your news."
"Um."
Shen Zhao responded and then began to think about how to make the next move.
At this moment, Liang Hao spoke up: "Brother, how about I cooperate with Miss Ji and infiltrate the Holy Domain ahead of time?"
"Um?"
Shen Zhao looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Liang Hao explained, "In Chang'an, I beat up Xu Suiyan and also wiped out his subordinates."
I fear the Xu family will seek revenge, so I plan to strike first before they do, to avoid future trouble.
Damn, this sixth brother's way of thinking is really different.
Not only will they beat you up, they'll also wipe out your entire family, simply because they suspect you might seek revenge.
Only the lowercase 'n' in the English alphabet can be used, since 'n' is the opposite of 'u'!
“That’s a good idea,” Shen Zhao agreed immediately, “but we must seize the right moment before we take action.”
"I understand."
"Xu Suiyan?"
Su Yunying murmured the name once, then unconsciously clenched her jade-like hand.
...
The icy plains and snow-covered fields stretch as far as the eye can see, all pure white.
Inside an ice cave halfway up the mountain, Yu Xiyan sat cross-legged, trying her best to convert the demonic energy in her body into spiritual power to nourish the Ice Phoenix Body.
Suddenly, a spark of inspiration pierced through the ice cave.
Instantly, the blood-red jewel on Yu Xiyan's forehead flashed rapidly.
The moment she opened her eyes, a mechanical voice suddenly rang in her mind.
"Yu Xiyan, I'll only ask you one question: do you want Shen Zhao to come back to your side?"
"Who are you!"
Who I am is not important; what is important is...
"I can help you get Shen Zhao back by your side, but I only need to ask you one question: do you still love Shen Zhao?"
Yu Xiyan remained silent.
"Not answering means you agree, right?"
"Tell me what I should do, and what your purpose is!"
"My goal is the same as yours: to see you and Shen Zhao truly united. I have no other intentions."
Now answer me, do you want Shen Zhao to stay by your side forever, or have you decided to give up?
Yu Xiyan replied without hesitation: "Yes! I really want to! What do you need me to do?"
"Very good. Now you must listen carefully to my plan and not overlook the slightest detail. After all, you and I should both know how meticulous Shen Zhao is in observing things!"
"Alright, I will cooperate fully with you. What do you want me to do?"
“It’s very simple. I will use your ‘Lost Dream Heart Sutra’ to change Shen Zhao’s memory, so that he will forget everything that happened before and only have eyes for you.”
Yu Xiyan: "Hmm?"
All you need to do is try your best to recall the times you and Shen Zhao spent together, the more beautiful the better.
"Conceive a perfect dream in the shortest amount of time, then leave it to me!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiyan fell silent.
"What, you don't want to?"
"No, I was just thinking about how to weave this beautiful dream."
"Then take your time thinking about it. I'll come find you again after you finish knitting!"
The system left a message and then vanished into the ice cave.
"Dream……"
Yu Xiyan slowly closed her eyes.
